For the past few weeks I have enjoyed having approx 8 female and 5 male 
purple finches at my feeders daily. Yesterday, after looking through 
some photos I had recently downloaded into my computer, I was struck by 
the appearance of one male which seemed to me to have a somewhat 'messy' 
area around its R eye and beak; (it showed up much more clearly on the 
back-lit computer than when just looking at them live, moving around so 
quickly, or via the small camera window). Although the eye rims 
themselves do not look inflamed, the brownish tinge around them seem to 
me to smack suspiciously of a possible discharge from the eye - also, 
the beak looks a little strange, but may just be distorted by food. I 
have never noticed this sort of thing before so have no experience of 
how to judge whether it is within normal limits or not.

I would very much appreciate some opinions from those more knowledgeable 
than I, and will send the photo to anyone interested in having a look.
